Live Mannequin at Lily's Lingerie

Walked up Spring Garden Road in Halifax today and noticed that Lily's Lingerie had a live mannequin in the window. Tried sticking my polarizing filter on but that really didn't seem to help to much so I kinda missed the shot... live and learn. I'll try something different next time. Any suggestions? My first idea is to put the 70-300mm on and shoot from across the street where the angle might put more building (which is darker) in the reflection and less sky.

She did wave at me when I was done on both days And she maintained her smile so I think she was cool. The people behind her, you can see one in the middle shot of the three above, had a nasty look on their face in one of the frames that I didn't see until I got it home.

Yeah, you work with what you have. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't I see all my images here as a failure, really, from an image point of view but they were fun and fun to share and helped me learn a little more.

Thanks for going back to try again. I like the newer shots. The model seems much better lit, so there are fewer reflections. Color of the slip is also better for the photo. Interesting experiment anyway.
